Vlad leaned against the side of the ship with his hands crossed over his chest, a mocking smile on his face.
"White beard, He is old!"
Vlad said softly.
"Go to hell! Bastard!"
Vlad kicked away the maid who was pouncing towards him, but his thoughts did not stop.
The white beard was indeed old. He was no longer the man who dominated the Blue Sea. Even he could not escape the tempering of time.
Although the Whitebeard now still had the strongest title, in fact, compared to the other three monsters, he no longer had an obvious advantage. Moreover, due to the influence of his illness, Vlad even wondered if the Whitebeard no longer had the strength to rival the other Four Emperors.
After all, for monsters like Big Mom and Kaido, there was absolutely no lack of physical strength. Kaido was caught several times, he broke the chains that bound him, shattered the guillotine, and sank the man who was known as immortal. Charlotte Lingling was a natural born destroyer who could defeat the titan hero at the age of five, a steel balloon that had not been injured for decades.
Vlad found it hard to imagine how the old and frail Whitebeard could defeat these two monsters. Although the power of the earthquake was extremely terrifying, it was impossible to defeat these two in a short period of time. The long-term confrontation was almost undoubtedly the result.
Once they entered a stalemate, Whitebeard would be able to gain the upper hand in the early stage, but would he really be able to hold on until he defeated the enemy?
Vlad was very curious about this. The Four Emperors had been suppressing the pirates for too long. Many silver players in the new world had lost the determination to compete with the Four Emperors. Only a few supernovas dared to fight against these four monsters every year. Of course, the result would naturally be a crushing defeat.
There were still three years before Luffy could go out to sea. There were still five years before the worst generation in the new world stirred up waves.
Compared to the surging waves a few years later, the new world was still calm. It had been a long time since there was a fierce conflict between the Yonko. Vlad was really curious. Whitebeard, this man who was known to be the strongest, what stage had he fallen to?
The Yonko had been suppressing the new world for more than ten years. Finally, three years later, with the end of the war on the top, Whitebeard finished his life. The Whitebeard pirates also fell from the position of the Yonko and seized Blackbeard's inheritance. That man was undoubtedly the most dangerous man in the sea.
Then, the new era led by the protagonist, Monkey D Luffy, rushed into the new world, and the rule of the Yonko finally began to fall.
Whether it was the Big Mom pirates who was kicked by half of the straw hat pirates or the beast pirates who were almost certainly defeated by the straw hat, the future of these two Yonko pirates was told to Vlad one thing. The seemingly stable pattern of the Yonko was undoubtedly going to break up after five years.
Vlad didn't want to miss that feast, or rather, whether it was that person or an ambitious man, he would never want to miss that brilliant dance.
So he urgently wanted to leave the aunt's pirates. His father's hatred was one aspect, and the other was that the aunt's group had already made him unable to see the future.
There was no doubt that the strength of the Yonko was stronger than their own power. Even if the headquarters wanted to defeat the Yonko, it would be difficult, unless the brains of the four Emperors were out of control, like the Whitebeard's pirates two years later, they directly rushed to the headquarters to fight with the Marine.
However, that was all. The strength of the Yonko had reached a level that couldn't be developed, whether it was the strength of an individual or a group.
That's why Big Mom always wanted to form a marriage alliance with the various forces to expand her own power,
That's why Kaido always collected all kinds of animal abilities to expand his army.
But, that's all. For their original power, these forces that can be roped in are not worth mentioning, and it is not a big improvement for themselves.
In a word, the new world is limited, but this sea is insignificant. Although this is the strongest sea in the world, it is indeed only that big. It can only afford so many pirates, and the four Yonko are the limit.
So for the new era with infinite ambition, the existence of the Yonko was extremely annoying. Their existence blocked most of the pirates' way, so once a powerful leader appeared, the collapse of the Yonko was not something that was hard to imagine.
Just as Whitebeard said, he was a remnant of the old era, and the new world could no longer carry his ship. The Yonko were undoubtedly the old era that opposed the new era.
Big mom and Kaido didn't say anything. He was a big pirate who came from the age of Roger. Even the youngest red-haired Shanks was just a man without ambition. He blocked everything on Luffy.
To be honest, the red-hair was a little strange compared to the other three monsters. His purpose of going out to sea was really puzzling. What was the purpose of this man going out to sea? Was it risky? He had followed Roger all the way to the great trade route.
Family? Except for Whitebeard, no one would think so. Pirate King? That was even more impossible. If the red hair's purpose was to become the Pirate King, he didn't need to give the straw hat to Luffy, let alone sacrificing his arm.
Although men don't need a reason to yearn for the sea, only the red hair man has extraordinary strength, but there is no ambition. What is the purpose of his existence?
For this question, Vlad only had one possible answer, and that was that this person was probably really going out to sea for Luffy. This might be a little inaccurate. It should be said that this man was only going out to sea to let Roger continue living. The reason that Redhead went out to sea might be to inherit Roger's will, so when he saw Luffy who was the same as Roger, he dared to directly bet one of his hands.
Of course, this was only Vlad's personal guess, and he could not be sure. However, there was one thing that was without question. Red hair did not have the ambition to fight for hegemony. In other words, he did not care about the position of the Four Emperors. In other words, even if the Four Emperors collapsed, he did not care. What he cared about was probably Luffy.
In this way, Vlad really could not think of any reason to stop the Four Emperors from collapsing in a few years, just as Doflamingo said, after that was the era of heroes.
Therefore, Vlad could no longer hold back. He was going to start moving. Although the wind of the era had not yet blown up, the Luck Goddess would always favor people who were prepared.
